These chicks all watch captain marvel and think they're magically strong.

There are a few chicks at my gym who are absolute UNITS as far as females go. But you're talking about 5-10% of them who are roughly on par with low/moderate strength men.

I'm guessing 90% of females in the military aren't even close to the standards of the lowest men.

There was an MMA fight some years back between the women's champion and some random MMA dude of the same weight class. She was obliterated and when she was interviewed after the fight, she said she never felt so helpless in her life.

IIRC, the actual stat is 85% of men are stronger than 90% of women or something close to that.

Therein lies the problem with our current culture. I’m the modern mythology, women draw their strength from magic. Then real women are told this is empowering—which is a lie, because magic is fiction. It is a false sense of empowerment and it is destroying entire generations of women.

Yup. look at Gal Gadot and Brie Larson. They convey the absurd notion that you can be rail thin with zero muscle mass and still be strong.

The chicks at my gym who can throw weight around aren't ham planets, but they have a ton of muscle mass.
